The more I play this game, the more disappointed I get. I think my main issue with this game and Dual Destinies is that it doesn't know how to strike the balance of coming back from insurmountable odds and turning it around. It puts you in a losing position, makes you lose, then some plot contrivance saves you. Yes, this has been a thing since the first game, but I can't help but feel that these two games in particular are egregious with it. It's forgivable in the first game and in Apollo Justice because you're playing as rookies, but when you make Phoenix Wright, a veteran lawyer and the character the series is named after look the worst he's ever looked in the entirety of the series, then I think it's an issue. At this point, I hope they don't make a 7th mainline entry, or in the very least, they give it to another writer.

Well I finally finished Spirit of Justice meaning I am up to date on the main series once more. Wasn't 100% sure what to think of this game as I was entering the final case, and even more before I started day 2 investigation of it. But wow that case changed my mind quite a bit and I will say I really did enjoy this. At somepoint in the future I will likely try to go through the series again to compare all the games as its been many years playing the earlier ones.

Few things I didn't like, case 4 for the most part outside of 1 or 2 characters. Especially as it was mostly filler while the others felt like they advanced the plot in some way. Not that I'm against filler as I enjoyed most of the cases in general, maybe since its stuck between 2 great cases that my opinion was low on it?

But anyway I given this game 4 stars out of 5, for any ace attorney fan they will still love it and I loved all the new things they added such as the insights.
